Party favor

A few days ago, I promised that I was going to post something new, but I got tied up in the affairs of life and didn't get around to it. Anyway, I am back today with a cute little craft for you. I hear people say all the time, I am just not that crafty. Well, trust me when I say, anybody can make the following. I hope it gets your craft juices flowing.

I was recently at a show and one of the vendors had the cutest little make and take. It is candy wrapped in a little packet. I came home that evening and thought this would be a nice little party favor if you were having some sort of event. I can not take credit for the idea, but here is how I made it.

1. I cut a piece of cardstock 2"x6".
2. Next, I scored the cardstork at 2 1/2" in on both sides, so that there is a 1" fold in the middle.
3. I used my Silhouette machine and cut out the oval scallops and stamped them with my initial.

4. I adhered one Hershey's miniature candy bar in the 1" fold with some double stick tape.

5. Finally, I punched holes at the top of the wrapper and tied some ribbon in the holes to keep it together. And voila, here you have it.

I think it is absolutely adorable. The possibilities are endless. You could use it for a wedding reception or a birthday party. You can stamp some other quote or saying on the front and give in a gift basket. Hope you enjoyed and happy crafting.

About Me

I am a homeschool mom who loves everything crafty. I enjoy creating home decor items, papercrafts, knitting, crocheting, sewing, cooking, decorating, entertaining, and shopping. I also enjoy life's little luxuries as I call them like great cups of teas and coffee, walks in the park, snuggling up with a good book, watching the sun set, going to the beach, and hanging out with friends and family. I've created this blog to share my passion of crafting mixed with everyday living.
